The NZLS is unable to confirm any of Mr van der Schyffs detatils because he does not hold a current practising certificate, therefore I would like to request that you please confirm-

1) When and where did your General Manager obtain his law degree.?

2) The name of the law firm he was a partner in?

3) The last time he held a practising certificate?

4) Why the MBIE does not require its Registrar to hold a practising certificate?

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us via email [2][MBIE request email] or using the contact details below.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Witcombe
